Presentation Transcript

  1. It all started with an invention…. • The first microscope • Sacharias Jansen, 1595, Middleburg, Holland • It launched great leaps in Astronomy and Biology. • Some of the first great observations with it were made by…

  2. Robert Hooke (1635-1703) • Designed microscopes • Discovered and documented the first “cells” in 1665 • Named them after the cells in which a monk sleeps. From: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/hooke.html

  3. Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) • A tradesman from Holland who became fascinated with Hooke’s book • Discovered bacteria, protists, sperm cells, blood cells, nematodes, etc. • Became an expert lens grinder and made over 500 simple microscopes • Acute eyesight and lens grinding skill let him build microscopes that were capable of 200X magnification

  4. Cell Theory • 1838 MattiasSchleiden stated that all plant tissues consisted of cells • 1839 Theodore Schwann stated that all animal tissues consisted of cells • Each conjectured that there was a nucleus • 1858 Rudolf Virchow combined the two ideas and added that all cells come from pre-existing cells, formulating the Cell Theory

  5. Rudolf Virchow1858 Cell Theory • All living things are composed of one or more cells • In organisms, cells are the basic units of structure and function. • All cells are produced only from existing cells.

  6. Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Cells

  7. Prokaryotic Cells (Bacteria) • Prokaryotic Cells • primitive, ‘before kernal’ - NO NUCLEUS • Lack internal membranes (no “membrane-bound” organelles) • Genetic material: single, circular DNA molecule suspended in the cytoplasm • Ex. Bacteria (such as Anthrax or E. coli) • Microscopic, single-celled organisms

  8. Unicellular (one) vs. Multicellular (many) Unicellular: Single-Celled • Most common forms of life on Earth. • Carry out all functions of Life. • Bacteria • Amoeba • Paramecium

  9. Unicellular (one) vs. Multicellular (many) Multicellular • Larger organisms. • Different cells have specialized functions, together making a complete organism. • Human • Spider • Jellyfish • Visit a “Tour of the Cell” at: video

  10. Cell Membrane: “Security Gate” • Surrounds the cell • Controls movement of materials into and out of cell

  11. Nucleus: • Controls the functions of the cell (the brain) • Includes the following: • Nuclear Envelope (Membrane): Controls movement into and out of the nucleus • Nuclear Pore: holes where movement takes place

  12. Nucleolus: Dark area inside nucleus, believed to be for making RNA and ribosomes Chromatin: Genetic Material (DNA) which is organized into structures called chromosomes during cell division. Nucleus:

  13. Cytoplasm: • remainder of the contents of the cell consisting of: • Cytosol:liquid environment • Cytoskeleton: network of protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell and anchors its organelles and serves as a “track” for them to move on. Crisscrosses the cytoplasm

  14. Mitochondria: “Powerhouse” • Provides energy for cell. • Converts food to usable energy for cell. • Have their own ribosomes and DNA.

  15. Golgi Apparatus (Complex):“packaging and distributing center” • Stack of membrane-enclosed spaces. • Process/Sorts/Packages protein/lipids for distribution within the cell and export out of the cell. • Proteins/lipids come from endoplasmic reticulum.

  16. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): • (Highway) Set of channels…aids in movement of molecules inside the cell. • Rough ER: • Ribosomes found on surface. • Smooth ER: • No ribosomes on surface.

  17. Ribosome (4d): • (Factory) Makes proteins and is found in the cytosol or on the ER.

  18. Vacuole: “Storage Tanks” • Fluid filled sack. • Stores water, food molecules, ions and enzymes. • Animal cells contain many small vacuoles. • Plant cells contain a large central vacuole…we will be talking about this more later…

  19. Lysosomes:“Suicide Sacs/Recycling Centers” • Carry enzymes to destroy cellular waste. • Break down damaged/worn out cell parts. • Engulf/digest targeted molecules • Defend cell from invading bacteria/viruses • Once thought to be only in animal cells, but exist minimally in plant cells. • Membrane protects cell from enzymes.

  20. Plant Cell

  21. Plant Cells: contain all of the previous organelles (except centrioles) as well as: Cell Wall: • Gives cells shape and support and provides protection. • Found in algae, fungi and most bacteria too.

  22. Plant Cells: contain all of the previous organelles (except centrioles) as well as: Chloroplast: (green) • Changes sun’s energy into food. • Also in green algae.

  23. Plant Cells: contain all of the previous organelles (except centrioles) as well as: Central Water Vacuole: • Single, large water filled vacuole in the middle of the cell. • Strengthen cells and provide support for plant. • Contains toxins to harm plant predators, waste products and pigment for color (petals).

  24. Animal Cell

  25. Animal Cells contain all of the previous organelles plus: Centrioles: 2 cylindrical organelles (together called a centrosome) • Formed by hollow protein fibers called microtubules (part of the cytoskeleton) • Produce microtubules that aid in moving chromosomes during cell division. • Found in animals and algae only but not in all animal cells.
